JtC Abandoned Roads
JtC Abandoned Roads generates abandoned roads and vehicles in the world, aimed at worlds that feel too natural and untouched.
What it does
The mod adds one brand new structure type that is placed randomly during world generation, so each abandoned road differs from the next. It targets non-medieval modpacks, such as infection, apocalyptic or modern worlds, where the default terrain can feel empty of human traces. The structure is spawned by a single biome tag that modpack makers can edit to decide which biomes receive it.
Structures are built from vanilla jigsaw blocks and use vanilla loot tables for their contents. The mod runs on NeoForge only, for 1.21.4, and it is needed on the client and the server. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Randomly placed roads
Each abandoned road is generated at random, so no two stretches look alike in a new world.
Biome tag control
A single biome tag decides where the structures can spawn, letting modpack makers limit or widen the placement.
Vanilla loot tables
Containers in the structures draw from vanilla loot tables, so the items follow familiar vanilla rules.
Vehicles in the roads
Abandoned vehicles appear alongside the road pieces, filling the gaps that medieval-focused world generation leaves.
